Redman Report post Posted October 13, 2014 My son Jake took his second coues deer yesterday in unit 22.... he is ten (has had two hunts in less than a year). Its been a long time since I have been on a early jr. hunt.... time made me forget the heat and bugs (gnats were HORRIBLE even with 100% deet)....needless to say his next hunt will be in Nov. After a rough three days of spotting 8 bucks (all in too hard of places to take a 10 year old) we finally glassed this buck and another buck at 9:45 yesterday... the bucks laid down and we had to wait about an hour, this gave us ample time to get Jake setup in the prone position, we really could not move into a better /closer spot. So we moved back and Jack was able to get in the prone position. After some time this buck stood up and Jake let a shot out, missed high just over, dialed the turret and he shot again, missed, told him to settle down and let the trigger surprise him... final shot was fatal. 440 yds, longer than I wanted but there was a huge canyon between us... straight down and up... we struggled to find him once we drove around and got on the hill... but it all worked out. congrats to all the youth hunters and my hats off to the mothers and fathers for getting them out!! 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
